[HELP] NBA Live/Elite .AST files will not extract ERROR

[pistonnation]

Hello ZenHax group! I am using the TigerWoods2010.bms script in order to extract audio files from NBA Live/Elite. This is the error I constantly get when trying to extract these files. Any reason why they will not extract?

- GUI mode activated, remember that the tool works also from command-line
  where are available various options like folder scanning, filters and so on

- select BMS script. type ? for using the content of clipboard like a script
- select input archives/files, type * for the whole folder and subfolders
- select output folder where extracting files
- open input file C:\Users\J_DAWG\Desktop\PS3 Stuff\NBA Elite 11\PS3_GAME\USRDIR\audio\xditties.ast

       Anyway don't worry, it's possible that the BMS script has been written
       to exit in this way if it's reached the end of the archive so check it
       or contact its author or verify that all the files have been extracted.
       Please check the following coverage information to know if it's ok.

Last script line before the error or that produced the error:

After running the TigerWoods2010 script with the "xditties.ast" file through QuickBMS, that error pops up, and I check the OUTPUT folder to only find a folder named "0" and within that folder is a .DAT file that cannot be opened. It's name is "0000000000000.DAT" and actually is the correct file size of the original .ast file, however it is inaccessible and it would appear that it did not work as intended.

However, If I use the EA BIG bms script for the same game, it reads the .big files perfectly. The program definitely works, I just can't seem to crack why these .ast audio files refuse to extract properly. Incorrect bms script? Should I try a different script?

No idea about this format.

Hi, was searching for the same thing and found this thread.

I have a smaller .AST file from NBA Elite 11 (PS3) that might be easier to sort through than the OP's one.

Here's a link to the file:

File header is S10S (53 31 30 53). Hope that helps in some way.
